Disruptive behavior and misbehavior can occur in any classroom. If a teacher understands the needs of the
student, the effect of the environment on the student, and identifies behavior patterns, it is easier to identify
ways to provide support, reinforce positive behaviors, redirect behavior, and prevent a disruptive behavior from
occurring in the future. The use of PBIS and other research-based strategies can be used to address and
manage behavior and can create a learning environment that is safe and encourages students to engage in
meaningful learning and interaction.

focus on students in the grade band relevant to your field of study. Include causes and strategies for
addressing misbehavior or disruptive behavior in the inclusive classroom. Complete both the chart and the
